Using a laser offset code PlasmaC (SOLVED) was created by Clive S
I have just fitted a cross hair laser to my machine
I don't use ohmic so I think I can use that button for the code
Like
BUTTON_1_NAME = Laser\Offset
BUTTON_1_CODE = G54 G0 X-47.5 Y21.296
So when positioning the laser over the corner of the part I would do touch off
After the button press It moves to the correct position. What do I need to add to the code to make it do auto the touch off
Edit: Would this do it: G10 L20 P1 X0 Y0
Edit: Sorted. G10 L20 P1 X0 Y0 \ G54 G0 X-47.5 Y21.296 \ G10 L20 P1 X0 Y0
Gets me what I wanted.

you shoudt go for a single button that calls a ngc that does the job at once
o<laserzeroz> sub
G91 ( relative mode for probing)
G54 G1 X-47.5 Y21.296 F1000 ( go bach the crosshair offset)
G90 ( absolute mode)
G10 L20 P1 X0 Y0 (set new XY G54 Zero)
o<laserzero> endsub
M2

Can you please give me the reason as it seems to work fine.

You could just enter your X and Y offsets directly into G10 L20 P0 Xoffset Y offset.

ofcause you can
but most like to move to zero point to confirm
and check DRO

I think I tried that and it worked it moved to the offset position but the dro showed the offset this means you need to set the dro back to zero.
Using the code that I proposed moves from the laser cross position to the offset and sets the dro to zero, with one button press.
Or am I missing something?

you are right but you need to move incremental G91 from where you are

Well you could move to X0 Y0 if you needed to.

Sorry Phill I am not sure I am understanding you.
If you have moved to the offset position and the dro is showing that position at this point moving to X0Y0 will put you back on the original laser mark. So would you not have to touch of at the offset position so that becomes X0Y0 so you can run the job from there.
My goal was to do the whole job in one button press. ie put the laser cross on the corner of the part then with one press the torch moves to the to the corner of the part with dro showing G54 X0Y0
But I am no expert

If you want to move to the new X0 Y0 that is fine, you don't have to but it is best to do what you feel comfortable with.
